Not Everything Good about GoodNews.
The idea is simple and it takes from what is called ‘GOODNEWS’- the news about the pregnancy. However, in the film, it comes with the rider of Sperm mix-up in an IVF (in-vitro fertilization) procedure. There are two couples.

KESARI- Movie Review.
Kesari tells you the story of the Battle of Saragarhi. The resolve of the 21 Sikh soldiers fighting an army of 10000 in the year 1897. The story of the Battle of Saragarhi is inspiring.

AIRLIFT- Lift the spirits.
There is nothing in the movie and then THERE IS EVERYTHING IN THE MOVIE. It is like a docudrama of a real time event. Timing it with 26th Jan when the patriotic feelings is at its peak is a good move. Not surprising that people clapped at the end of the movie- which anyway was… Read More »
CONFESSION of a simple man – I Liked ‘Singh Is Bliing’
Tweet Follow @S_kotnala It is a confession. Today people can come out in open and support same sex marriage. But, it takes guts to shout ‘YES I LOVED SINGH IS BLING (SIB) ’. This can categorically demote one in the virtual social ladder, but then I never cared for it. It is not a film for you if… Read More »
